I started this pattern way back in August, and am so excited to have the pattern out to you.

The name “Rosmerta” was initially inspired by the last name of everyone’s favorite Hogsmeade pub proprietress. After a little digging it also turns out to be the name of the Gaulish goddess of abundance & fertility.

And (maybe most importantly) it fills “R” in my (slightly strange) quest to name shawls after every letter of the alphabet.
